To zZ-Z whom t mayv concern y Be 1t known thatll, llanonn l?. SII-iran, a citizen olf the United' States, and resident 1 State of `ontan'a have invented certain new and useful?v Improvements in Forms for Moldstot which the following is a speciiiczl tion. f u. 'Y This inve-ntion'relatesto formsy especially adapted for use in building' construction.

An importantl object of this invention is to provide ar building torni for 'concrete walls which:` maybe readily placed"r in position andF which mayV be' easily and quickly `moved and reset yfor thecontinuation of the wall andi which will require a` miniinum'lof material;V i A u v Aturther objectl isto provide a'concrete form whereinall' of ythe parts may be re:- covered for subsequent use.

A further object is4 tor4 provide a--build-l ing form orwalls'wliich' isl ot` highly simplied construction, durable in luse and cheap to Inanufactu're.l Other objects and advantages of the in vention will' be apparent during the course of the, following. description.

TWith reference toFigure 3 is will be seen that'the mold boards l0y are separatedV by spacingwblocks; 18 and are.. securely held in a-'Yset positionthereby.-'1v f k l e `The several mold boards may be con# nected atl their ends by clips'illustratedlin` i Figure 6 and generallydesignated by the numeral 20,\the said clips beingprovided 'with' downwardly directed. Aflanges 2l which engav'e opposit'eisides of one olf the intermediate boards. andwith upwardly directed flanges-22 'which engage ythe ends otadja cent boards. `The application: ot the elips isfclearlyl illustrated! in Figure l wherein the downwardly directed `flanges 2l are shown in engagement; with oneAot the intermediate boards while the upwardly di` reoted` flanges 22- are y inqengagelnent with the end vportions ot adjacent boards. f That is to say thel pairsl of upwardly directed` flanges 22 which are arranged; inspaced;` relation engage" the ends .off aligned boardslo soV as to prevent the form from bulging atk anypoint. l C Theadj acent ends of the upper forni boardinay be connected by a clip generallyy desig-` nated by the numeral Q5 as `clearly illustratedin Figuresl and 5. 1 The clip 25is of U- from' moving outwaic ly.

The

cleats lwhich are secured to the vextended boardsflatly contact with the sides .of the f boards whichiterininate at the endsfof the wall or more particularly at the corner of thesame and therebyT prevent thev boards Additional cleats 31 maybe secured vto the edges oftheboard and are provided with `laterally', projecting` terminalv portions S3 flatly contacting with the sides of the boards to hold the saine in position.

In assembling the forni the'fmm@ 401 *of 'i openingssuch` as'ldoors oi" windows may be arranged in place/.without interfering with thesetting up of thel'forrn and it will be seen that thesi'desand ends of `the frame 40 provide abutments for the cerne'ntdl. I

` Whenthe cement has been poured into the mold, the ,lowerinold board 1'0 may be reyfao moved and placed upon what was originally the uppery inold boa-rd.y The connecting l rods 18 are now raised so `as vtolie on the sis ' outer sides ofthe 'boards lOand additional tie plates 11 'are arranged lon the upper edges `of theseveral mold boards. 1

Itfwillbe understood thatwhen it is desired to remove any ofthe form boards'lQ it i'smerelynecessary to tur-n each connecting rod so-that 'therlat side of the same is arboard.1-;` If desired the tie `plates y11 which are taranged inwardly thereby releasing the form peredniay be allowed toy remain in the'fwall andthe projecting ends oie the same severed. On the other hand if desired, the tie plates which are tapered inaybe driven out ofthe wall. In that case` the tie plates are dipped f5? in melted paraliin before being arranged in place'` so that `vrthe coating `forms a means wherebythe tieplates may bereadily re moved(` The tool illustrated in `Figure '11i and generally-designated by ythefninn'eral' 50 f is `fornied'at'itsends withopening's 51 olf/a" l" y the boards 10. y

The tool 54 is especially adapted foruse in .I

removing the lower form' boards 10 and ar- 'ranging thesaine on the upper form board for the purpose of continuing the mold. v

rEhe tool' illustrated in Figure 9 and 'generally designated by the numeral isespecially adapted forv use in removing therin ner boards 10 and placing the saine upon the l upper board. The forward portion ci* the tool 60is provided with a pair of spaced jaws'l having their terminal portions extended outwardlyaand beveled as indicated at 62. Theiinner sides'of thejja'ws 61 are pro-- vided y.with teeth 63 or shoulders which yareV 4 vengaged with the under sidev of the board Y whereby to connectlthe board to the tool. 1 Having thus described ythe invention, what lclaimiszf 1.-'A forni coinprising'parallel sectionaly walls, tie'platesextending through the walls ing rodsy extending through fthefplates and having` flattened sides adapted to be ait-i' ranged adjacent the walls'whereby .tliero'ds may bejreleased `from locking engagement with the plates. i v
